About
I am a cognitive scientist who specializes in conservation and health psychology. My career to this point has been an exciting exploration into my passion for understanding the various decision-making processes we undertake each and every day, and the ways in which cognitive mechanisms and implicit and explicit belief systems impact the choices we make. From what we buy to how we cast our votes; and from where we donate our precious dollars to how we interact with the natural world; cognitive processes underlie all of these lifestyle factors and judgments. The decision-making research I’ve conducted over the past decade has been diverse and includes topics like pro-environmental behavior, politics, health and lifestyle wellbeing, and pro-social behavior (charitable donations, volunteerism, activism), among others. My research has been published in several high impact journals (e.g., Memory & Cognition, Applied Cognitive Psychology, Intl. Journal for the Psychology of Religion), and featured in various popular online outlets (e.g., Fox Business News, NerdWallet, Digiday, MedTech Dive). Professional affiliations include: The American Psychological Association, The Society for Consumer Psychology, and the Association for Psychological Science.
